Give your ILX’s engine a little TLC with routine oil changes. Schedule your next appointment today.
Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2018 Acura ILX? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.
Acura recommends changing your 2018 ILX’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your ILX in the above table. Your ILX may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Acura recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Acura ILX. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2018 Acura ILX motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Acura has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2018 ILX. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your ILX's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your ILX by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.
